Just Don’t Do It! One Star is too many- Zero Stars was not an option! We made a reservation with a Passport America discount $22.50 a night and when we arrived, they raised the rate to $35. We reminded them we have Passport America and the manager began telling us how much money they had to spend to open the park, new wells, new electric and said he felt $35 was a fair rate. We showed him the Passport America webpage and he waved his hand, laughed, and repeated$35 is a more than a fair rate. We then reminded him that the reservation was at $22.50, his reply was fine then $30 that is fair. He was rude and not willing to budge, treated us like we were crazy for wanting the rate we booked. We chose to leave but had to circle through the campground. The campground is a completely dirt field and only had 4 campers in sites one had the maintenance truck out front with piles of beer cans around the table and ground. The managers site has trash and things laying all over their site, one looked like it had been there forever and one other very nice class A. The rest of the 75 campsites were empty and this was 4th of July Weekend! There are no trees, no grass, the sites had some very long weeds, dirt with a few rocks! They are adding additional site too! When we pull off the road, we want the campground to be as expected at the rate we booked. We don’t play games we made the reservation based on an agreement Passport America had made with the campground the they will not honor the agreement!

Work in progress 

I noticed some real negative comments about this place, and at this time I think this is a pretty decent place to stay.  There are no trees for shade, but this is Marquette Michigan, where it’s unusual to get into the 80s during the summertime. The tent sites are down close to the river in or not even visible from the main RV area.   If you want to tent camp here, I think those sites would be excellent because they provide a good amount of privacy.  I found the lady in the office who registered me to be very pleasant, and I did not notice a bunch of “junk”around the office building.  ￼ The water, sewer, drain pipe, and electric hook ups are all in very good condition.  ￼ additionally, there is no longer any exposed dirt like you see in some of the pictures on this particular camping app. The grass has grown in just fine. ￼ I would definitely stay here again. ￼
